Vehicle Description
A Mercedes convertible has timeless elegance, but for true
upper-class value, check out this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. It's a
low-mileage classic with everything from a new top to suspension
investments done as recent as this year. So power, beauty, and
assurance is now ready for you in this classic package.
Astral Silver Metallic is the ideal factory color. After all,
silver is the classic racing color of Germany, so it gives this
some nice sporty appeal. But the deep tones, clearcoat shine, and
subtle blue pinstripe make sure this premium Benz always looks
elegant, too. The superiority of this one also comes from good care
and a low-mileage life - averaging less than 1,500 miles annually.
So the brightwork shines with a mirror-like glow, the rubber trim
is soft to the touch, and the body panels fit with their correct
precision quality. This car comes with both tops. The blue folding
soft top was just replaced this year, and so it coordinates nicely
with the pinstripe. Or for a coupe-like profile, the color-matched
hardtop always looks distinguished. This was the final year for the
R107 SLs, and so you get vintage style with some later additions
from the factory, like the third brake light on the trunk and the
updated set of alloy wheels.
If you like the way the blue soft top looks against the silver,
then you're going to love the interior. The full blue setup has a
terrific look that reminds you that low mileage also means little
time to wear in the interior. Supple leather bucket seats mean you
and your passenger are destined to ride in luxury and style, so
this has a long list of desirable features. It includes power
windows, power steering, cruise control, driver airbag, and the
correct Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the air
conditioning was converted to modern R134a so it keeps you cool and
comfortable even with the top down.
The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor. With fuel-injection
and an overhead camshaft, these are the standard for both proper
power and smooth delivery that all other luxury two-seaters were
measured. This one has even received proper maintenance throughout
the years. Not only can you see it in the tidy presentation, but
also we have the records to prove it. It's more than just the motor
that made the 560SL the true grand touring benchmark. The
fully-independent suspension has the ideal perfect balance of
elastic comfort in a tight-handling package. This was topped off
with a four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes
for the best all-around control.
Exceptional care makes for an exceptional classic. So if you're
